In an old interview of Subhash Ghai had gone on record saying that Mahima was cut up with him because of Aishwarya Rai. While speaking to Saibal Chatterjee in 1998, when Ghai was asked why he opted Aishwarya Rai for Taal, he had said, "Four others were considered- Manisha Koirala, Karisma Kapoor, Kareena and Mahima. I chose Aishwarya because she fits the role like a glove. That's the reason why Mahima is cut up with me."

This is the reason why Mahima was upset with the director as he selected Aishwarya for the role in Taal. In the same interview, Ghai was asked if he had resolved his dispute with Mahima.

He answered, "It's a closed chapter now. It wasn't for money- that was peanuts, anyway. It was a disciplinary action against an errant student by an institute, if you regard Mukta Arts as one. But all is forgotten. She is now free to do what she wants with her career."
